Users Guide

The Enterprise Manager user credentials control which Storage Centers and FluidFS clusters can be
managed in the vSphere Web Client Plugin.
To add a Storage Center or FluidFS cluster to the vSphere Web Client Plugin, log in to the Enterprise
Manager client using the same user credentials. Add the Storage Center or FluidFS cluster to manage.
See the Dell Storage Manager Administrator’s Guide for instructions on adding a Storage Center to
Enterprise Manager. See the Dell FluidFS Administrator’s Guide for instructions on adding a FluidFS
cluster to Enterprise Manager.
10. Click Submit. The plugin validates the vCenter and Enterprise Manager credentials. If the credentials
are correct, the vSphere Web Client Plugin retrieves Storage Center information from the Enterprise
Manager
server.
NOTE:
The more Storage Centers and volumes managed by the Enterprise Manager user, the longer it
takes to display the Dell Storage page.
If the credentials are incorrect, a Connection Manager error dialog box opens.
Managing the vSphere Web Client Plugin
The following sections describe how to manage vCenter and Enterprise Manager credentials, display
Storage Center and FluidFS cluster information, and disable or enable the vSphere Web Client Plugin.
Changing vCenter and Enterprise Manager Credentials
If the credentials change for the Enterprise Manager user defined in the vSphere Web Client Plugin, the
credentials must be updated on the Manage tab of the Dell Storage page.
Prerequisites
Data Collector must be installed and running before you can configure the vSphere Web Client Plugin.
